For purchasers, they need to know some knowledge about clothing fabrics so that they can choose high-quality and low-priced products when faced with various quotations from suppliers. How to avoid being “taken advantage of” when purchasing fabrics? In fact, these are the factors that affect fabric prices. Although it is difficult to know from the surface whether the fabric prices of partners are reasonable or not, the pricing of fabrics is well-founded. We can determine the relationship between the fabric production process and fabric pricing. Make a rough judgment based on related factors.
Here comes the point! What are the factors that affect fabric prices?
Reasons for gray cloth
a. Different looms
Including cloth woven by shuttle looms, cloth woven by rapier looms, and cloth woven by air-jet looms. These three types include shuttle looms. Because there are relatively more parking stalls for machine-made fabrics, the price is the lowest. Rapier looms have fewer parking stalls than shuttle looms, so the price is slightly higher. Air-jet looms also have higher yarn requirements. High, so the cloth produced by air-jet looms is also relatively good and the price is slightly higher.
Distinguish the quality of the fabric: the count of the weaving, the number of needles of the fabric, the stability of the shrinkage of the fabric, whether the evenness is uniform, the clarity of the texture, the delicateness of the feel, etc.
The more complex the manufacturing process and the more difficult the fabric, the more expensive it will be. You can learn about the difficulty of weaving. In the Sanyuan weave, such as: cotton 40*32 / 150*78 *63″ (1/1), it is more difficult to weave. If it is satin, it is less difficult to weave. If it is 2/ 1 Twill weave is more difficult to weave. Difficulty coefficient arrangement: 1/1>2/1>2/2>3/1>5/3 satin weave, from which we can know the price difference between fabrics with different tissue structures Size.
b. Different yarns
Yarns are divided into carded and combed. Combing will remove impurities and short fibers in the fiber, which is better than carded cloth. It is clean, has clear slivers, and the strength of the cloth is relatively good. The yarns are also divided into different spinning processes, including rotor spinning, air-jet spinning, vortex spinning, ring spinning and compact spinning.
Dyeing and printing processing and dyeing costs
Different dyeing factories have different unit prices for processing dyed and printed fabrics, so why are the dyeing fees different?
First, the scale of dyeing factories is different. Generally speaking, large and well-managed dyeing factories will It is a bit higher than that of small factories. This is of course the survival space of small factories.
Secondly, the technical level and process of each dyeing factory are different. Of course, the dyeing fee of dyeing factories with higher level will be higher. , the quality of the cloth, from the gloss of the cloth surface to the physical standards of the cloth, has also been improved.
Thirdly, there is another reason for dyeing that affects the dyeing cost. Nowadays, the companies that produce dyes are also more If the dyes chosen by the dyeing factory are better, the chemical indicators of the fabric will be better. Now we all require fabrics to be environmentally friendly, especially exported fabrics, and they need to be tested to see if any chemical components are not up to standard, so those with high environmental performance can be If it is sure to meet the testing requirements, the dyeing fee will be higher, otherwise, the dyeing fee will be lower. Of course, in terms of dyes, it cannot be seen with the naked eye without comparison. Therefore, the dyeing fee is between 0.2-1.5 yuan. It doesn’t vary.
The difference between tax and non-tax
Generally speaking, in markets where there are more cash transactions, they are used to quoting prices excluding tax, while companies placing orders are more inclined to quote prices. The price including tax and the price excluding tax can differ by 3-10 percentage points. Of course, this is different according to the situation of each enterprise.
Differences in packaging methods and freight
Packaging methods generally have matching Packing and roll packaging, piece packaging will be slightly cheaper. For freight, some of our suppliers do not include freight quotations, and some include freight. In this case, it will be different, so when you roughly If you understand it for a while, but don’t look at it in detail, you will feel that there is a difference.
The difference in supplier profits
For customers with large purchasing volume and average requirements, the profit will be relatively low. For smaller, more refined customers, profits will be relatively higher.
